This was a pretty easy job. I reused the rubber O ring gasket. The part was $14.

is this the same procedure for a 98 a6 quarttro 2.8l base model?
Hey Ed, Mine did the same thing. I rolled them back but now it’s not
starting at all. Is there a way that I can fix this or am I hosed? Same
vehicle as yours. (95 A6)
@MagicCadillac Sometimes this car is easy to work on and some things take
more effort. Thanks for the comment Kay!
I think those German engines are more complicate then the American engines.
You got a lot of more stuff to remove for coming at par example the
thermostat. You did it and that’s the most important thing, great job Ed.
Ed….You did away with the intro?? Such a great artist!! 🙂 That was a
beautiful drawing! 🙂 It almost seems easier to replace the timing belt
than it does the thermostat….Wow! I do like the way you can bleed the
system….seems pretty easy. Great job Ed! Its warm today, but after today,
I think winter will officially be here!
is this a a6 quatro?
I would say you defiantly have air trapped in the system. Bleed the system
until all you get is steady stream of coolant. Hopefully that’s all it is.
Still have the Audi? You are definately a loyal car owner.. Thanks for
putting a car repair video on again. Take care and have a great holiday…
you made that look as easy as the old small block Chevy’s!! That
pornographic drawing sure came in handy eh!! Another fine job Buddy!!☺
@edzgarage If you stick your finger in the tail pipe you can tell if its
been burning really rick. It should look brownish, not black.
There’s nothing like working on a German car for inviting comments about
how you’re not using the right tool. I’d be broke if I bought all the
“right tools” needed to work on my old diesel Benz.
great job buddy 🙂 might need some heat up there in north branch country .
lol
view #3!!!
@mbyr31 No, I decided to not use the intro to my repair videos. I’ll use it
or another one on my Vlog vids. It’s really warm here too today, almost 60!
That wont last lol Thanks Matt!
@ItsAlwaysRusty Loyal… Cheap… lol Thanks for watching Buddy! Have a
great Holiday too!
@bugnutz43847683 Thanks Buddy! I decided to not use the music on my “How I
do it” videos. Thanks for the comment!
thx
Its good that you fixed it,1 you will now have lots of heat and two you
will save on gas. If your car dose not reach engine operating temp it will
not go into fuel control. It will then run on a set program burning alot
more gas.
@VE9REJ Thanks Reg!
@spelunkerd Thanks for the comment!
nice job Ed
why not use genuine parts?
nothing beats german engineering eh buddy? nice work!
nice to see how get the job done, you did it well
@kerobinsonii lol My wife still doesn’t know where hers went! I hope she
doesn’t watch this lol! Thanks for the comment!
@jasonmushersee LOL I never thought of that! Thanks for the comment Buddy!
@hoppes9 Yep, the right tool is the one that gets the job done… store
bought or not! lol Thanks Buddy!
@CDNBadass Yes, air in system can make you have “no heat”. But, if you
haven’t messed with the cooling system at all it’s probably the stat.
